2. WHO AM I?
• My cultural background consists, generally, of two spheres: African-American culture, and German-
American culture.
• It is complex because my biological father is African-American, and though we have little to no contact, I
still identify with the African-American roots that he provided.
• My adopted father, however, was German-American like my biological mother. This means that, while I
was raised in both African-American and German-American cultures, I mostly had the traditions and
values of the German-American part of myself.
• Though my family is descendant from Germany, they adopt typically general “American” values.
• Other cultures include: feminist (womanist) culture, fan culture [Beyoncé], and film culture.
